Answer:

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j)

Magnitude of R = 9.09 m

Explanation:

Let î and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axis respectively.

Vector A --> magnitude 8.78 m, direction 37.0° from the +x-axis

Let the x and y components of this vector be Aₓ and Aᵧ

A = (Aₓî + Aᵧj) m

The components given magnitude and direction from the +x-axis are calculated as

Aₓ = A cos θ and Aᵧ = A sin θ

Aₓ = (8.78 cos 37°) = 7.01 m

Aᵧ = (8.78 sin 37°) = 5.28 m

A = (7.01î + 5.28j) m

Vector B has magnitude 8.26 m and direction 135° from the +x-axis

B = (Bₓî + Bᵧj) m

Bₓ = (8.26 cos 135°) = - 5.84 m

Bᵧ = (8.26 sin 135°) = 5.84 m

B = (-5.84î + 5.84j) m

Vector C has magnitude 5.65 m and direction 210° from the +x-axis

C = (Cₓî + Cᵧj) m

Cₓ = (5.65 cos 210°) = - 4.89 m

Cᵧ = (5.65 sin 210°) = - 2.83 m

C = (- 4.89î - 2.83j) m

The resultant force is a vector sum of all the forces. Let the resultant force be R

R = (Rₓî + Rᵧj) m

R = A + B + C = (7.01î + 5.28j) + (-5.84î + 5.84j) + (- 4.89î - 2.83j)

Summing the î and j components seperately,

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j) m

To get its magnitude,

Magnitude of R = √(Rₓ² + Rᵧ²) = √((-3.72)² + (8.29)²) = 9.09 m

(ASAP) would it be 125 m/s2 to calculate for her speeding up?
serg [7]

Answer:

0\:\mathrm{ m/s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for acceleration:

\displaystyle\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and \Delta t is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).

Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.

We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).

We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.

Substituting values in our formula, we have:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-25}{5}=\frac{0}{5}=\boxed{0\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Alternative:

Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!

A group of scientists have obtained some experimental results.
topjm [15]
<span>In order best to find out whether the obtained experimental results are worth mor etime and resources the group of scientists should present their results (could be done also in poster session) to other scientists in order to hear their opinion and get a feedback. The shoudl also ask another researchers to redo the experiments and to compare the results. </span>

A long uniformly charged thread (linear charge density λ= 2.5 C/m) lies along the x axis in the figure.(Figure 1) A small charge
Kamila [148]

Answer 1) The electric field at distance r from the thread is radial and has magnitude  

E = λ / (2 π ε° r)  

The electric field from the point charge usually is observed to follow coulomb's law:  

E = Q / (4  π ε° r^{2})  

Now, adding the two field vectors:  

E_{thread}  =  {2.5 / (22 π ε° X 0.07 ) ; 0}  

Answer 2) E_{q}  = {2.3 / (4 2 π ε°) ( - 7/ (√(84); -12 / (√84))

Adding these two vectors will give the length which is magnitude of the combined field.  

The y-component / x-component gives the tangent of the angle with the positive x-axes.

Please refer the graph and the attachment for better understanding.
